High School at NWST: A Progressive and Holistic Learning Journey
At Nairobi Waldorf School Trust (NWST), our high school program is designed to provide a seamless and enriching learning experience that nurtures critical thinking, creativity, and real-world skills.
Grade 9 and 10: The Waldorf Foundation Years
In Grades 9 and 10, students continue with the Waldorf curriculum, which offers a broad and interdisciplinary approach to learning. These two years provide a strong academic and personal development foundation, helping students explore their interests and strengths before making a specialized choice for their final years of high school.During Term 3 of Grade 10, students take part in Pre-IB and Pre-BTEC sessions, designed to guide them in selecting the most suitable academic pathway for their future aspirations.
Grade 11 and 12: Choosing a Pathway – IBDP or BTEC
Upon completing Grade 10, students transition into either:
- The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) – A globally recognized, academically rigorous program that prepares students for university and lifelong learning.
- The BTEC Curriculum – A practical, career-focused program that emphasizes hands-on learning and industry skills, leading to professional qualifications.
This structure ensures that students receive a well-rounded education in Grades 9 and 10 before specializing in a pathway that aligns with their strengths and ambitions in Grades 11 and 12.
